Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and now in his 78^th year he launches his house into the sky via thousands of balloons.

UTEP Dinner Theatre

Metropolis

The UTEP Dinner Theatre is proud to present its third production of the musical Metropolis, based on the 1927 silent film by Fritz Lang. The year is 2066 and the inhabitants of the world are divided into two classes: an elite “ruling” class living in luxury on the planet’s surface and the working class, who toil below ground, doomed to serve from birth to death as slaves to the monstrous machines they tend. The score for Metropolis was written by Joseph Brooks, Academy Award winning composer of “You Light Up My Life.”  Time magazine calls Metropolis “a rousing and at times spell-binding musical!” Information: www.utep.edu/udt
